Can the Paula method facilitate co-contraction of the pelvic floor muscles?: a 4D ultrasound study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2010-11-23)Introduction and hypothesis: The aim was to compare constriction of the levator hiatus (LH) and reduction of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) length during instruction of the Paula method (contraction of ring musculature of ... -
Constriction of the levator hiatus during instruction of pelvic floor or transversus abdominis contraction: a 4D ultrasound study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-09-20)A new theory claims that the pelvic floor muscles (PFM) can be trained via the transversus abdominis (TrA). The aim of the present study was to compare the effect of instruction of PFM and TrA contraction on constriction ... -
Test-retest reliability of pelvic floor muscle contraction measured by 4D ultrasound
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2008-10-17)Aims: The aim of the present study was to evaluate test-retest measurements of functional aspects of pelvic floor muscle (PFM) contraction using four dimensional (4D) ultrasound. Methods: Seventeen females preformed three ...
